Customs delays and seizures: Non-compliant shipments are often held at ports, causing costly supply chain disruptions.
-
Heavy fines and penalties: Regulatory bodies impose steep fines for violations of dangerous goods transport rules.

Safety risks: Improper packaging and certification increase the risk of leaks, fires, and accidents during transit.
